EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF SOUND EFFECT RECORDS.  MOST ARE STAMPED "FSCR-TV", AND MOST ARE NUMBERED FOR  INVENTORY.  THERE ARE 69 RECORDS TOTAL, AND THEY ARE 78'S AND 33 1/3'S. MOST OF THESE HAVE ORIGINAL BROWN PAPER "RECORDVELOPE" ENVELOPES.  I BELIEVE THESE ARE FROM THE 1940'S-1950'S, AND THEY HAVE THE SOUND QUALITY OF THAT ERA.  I  CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW THEY WERE USED AT THIS OLD TIME TV STATION FOR BACKGROUND SOUND EFFECTS.  SOME OF THE SOUNDS (SORTED BY GROUP BELOW):
THE SOUNDS OF WAR, MILITARY, AND THE WILD WEST (18 RECORDS IN THIS GROUP): WARFARE, GUN SHOT EFFECTS, GUN BATTLE, BOILER ROOM EFFECTS, ENGINE ROOM EFFECTS, CATAPULT ACTIONS, MEDIEVAL WARFARE, SWORDS, WESTERN GUNBATTLE WESTERN EFFECTS - BAR ROOM FIGHT, BRIDGE GIVING WAY, GUN COCKS, SHOTS ECHOING IN CANYON, WESTERN DRAMA OLD TIME BATTLE SCENE - CANNONS, FIELD MORTARS, OPEN BATTLE HEAVY CRUISER USS ROCHESTER - INSIDE GUN TURRET, SHIPS BELLS, ALARMS, MOTOR, ANCHOR, PUMPS, ENGINE MACHINE GUN FIRE, SUB MACHINE GUN MILITARY BAND, BUGLE CALLS RIFLE SHOTS, SHOOTING GALLERY, SHOTS IN A CAVE HANGAR DECK SOUNDS FROM THE USS TICONDEROGA WORLD WAR II - SUSTAINED ARTILLERY FIRE OF MODERN HIGH-VELOCITY GUNS, AIR RAID SIRENS BATTLE EFFECTS - EXPLOSIONS, FRENCH AND GERMAN MACHINE GUNS, CANNON BOMBARDMENT NAVAL WARFARE EFFECTS - SUBMARINE DEPTH CHARGES (NOTE: ONE OF THE RECORDS LABELED "WARFARE" HAS A CRACK IN IT THAT AFFECTS MUCH OF THE 1ST OF 2 CUTS ON EACH SIDE, BUT THE CRACK DOES GO THROUGH MOST OF THAT PARTICULAR RECORD.)

BATHROOM WATER SOUNDS - WATER RUNNING IN SINK, TUB, DRAINING WATER FANFARES DRUM ROLLS AND DRUM SOLOS FUNERAL MARCH THE MAJORITY OF THESE RECORDS ARE FROM STANDARD RADIO TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES.  HOWEVER, SOME OF THE OTHER SOURCES INCLUDE: GENNETT RECORD RICHMOND INDIANA, SPEEDY SOUND EFFECTS LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA, MAJOR RECORDS NEW YORK, COLUMBIA RECORDS, AND E.M.I. STUDIOS LONDON ENGLAND.  MANY OF THE RECORDS ARE LIKE NEW; SOME HAVE LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHES.  I HAVE TRIED TO NOTE ANY OTHER DAMAGE WITHIN THE GROUPS ABOVE.  I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TEST EACH RECORD ALL THE WAY THROUGH, SO THERE MAY BE A COUPLE OF OTHER ADDITIONAL NICKS OR SCRATCHES THAT I DIDN'T CATCH.  HOWEVER, I HAVE TRIED TO BE AS DILIGENT AS POSSIBLE IN LISTING THE FACTS.
